Issue the same glass package to every vendor in one click.
Buying for a window factory is mostly one question asked repeatedly: who is cutting this glass, and for how much. That question is worth automating; the rest of purchasing is Odoo’s and works well.
01Aggregated glass tendering
One glass package, several vendors, one click
- Glass demand aggregated off the production order by product and specification
- Every vendor who supplies those products suggested automatically
- One draft purchase order per vendor, each carrying the same confirmed demand
- The glass cutting list rendered once and attached to every one of them
- The order records that a tender went out, and to whom
02Subcontract tracking
Subcontracting that comes back with a paper trail
- A purchase order raised from the work order itself, priced at the subcontract cost
- Dispatch and return references on the record
- Sent, late, partial and returned tracked as states rather than as memory
03Approval matrix
Nothing ordered without the matrix agreeing
- Approval steps with both a value and a quantity threshold
- You cannot approve a request you raised — enforced, not advised
- Delegation that refuses to hand a request back to its author
